taxes - soaked for extra $

[lenny]

No, my accountant said, " After four or five years paying into a new car
the deductions are not that great anymore, and thating the milage is best
overall at that point."
If you drive 20 thousand miles a year times .31 = $6,200 thats a good
deduction in anybodys book.
